Beep!Beep! I groaned and slammed my hand on the alarm button.I picked up my head still half asleep and I groaned as my eyes slowly adjusted.5:12 am I read it and my eyes opened about as wide as they could get I could still see my eye lids covering the numbers."5:12am!What the heck?" I thought angryly as my teeth gritted together then it hit me like a bucket of cold water."Ross!"I yelled as I sat up,the bed sqeaked and groaned."Shut up!"I snapped angryly."Whoa Hope..You're screaming at your bed calm down abit." I heard the last sane part of my mind advise."You shut up too!" I thought in a quick snap.I shivered when I noticed how extremely cold the floor was as I stormed down the hall and forced Ross's room door open."Get up!"I snapped as I flipped the light on."Meh..Go away.."A lump in the covers groaned as it moved to bury deeper and clearly away from the light."No,why don't you go into the light!That way I can get rid of you."I lashed but he was completely unfazed by the threat."Is that the 'sisterly love' I hear so much about?"The lump asked.
I snorted and I felt my hands clench into fist."Did you bug my alarm clock!"I demanded and the lump grew a hole and my brothers head popped light blue eyes were ice cold just by a glance and his olive skin made them even harsher and colder than anyone would think his expression would have made me gasp if I wasn't so dead was scared,but not like a normal scared.I mean terrified see your murder weapon centimeters from your face scared.I didn't see why he would be that scared I mean did my threat hurt him that badly."Hey,I'm sorry I didn't reall-"But he had already got out of bed and he motioned for me to be quiet."Uh..Oh ya it's alright dont worry 'bout it."He said I noticed something that really woke me up.I was awake enough to gasp now."Oh my god,Ross!What happened?"I asked as I felt the gasp of air blow up my throat and out my was covered and I mean COVERED with immedialty went into protective mode by the way his muscles clenched and he grabbed the blanket to cover the scars that his pj's hands jerked forward to look at the were deep,deep,deep it wasn't hard for me to imagine them slicing his bone.I looked at one over his arm it wrapped around and around like a snakes constricting I could examine anymore scars he had grabbed my shoulders and forced me out his room door.I was completely shocked when I turned around he had his eyes closed as he leaned his arm against the door face wrinkled under his black bangs that hung in his face almost hiding it from my view.I tried to look at the scars again but he had re wrapped the blanket."Ross please I wanna help you."I pleaded as he shook his head.I heard him whispereing."I'm sorry.."He said it like he was talking to someone other than me.
"Why!Who did this to-"I started to scream but his hand closed around my mouth and throar making me suffacate and my brain forced its self back to life."Hope!"He hissed quietly then his head turned to analyze the halls to make sure my mom or step dad wasn't coming I guessed."You idiot be quiet!"He snapped again as I screamed behind his hand which was extremely cold by the way!Then thing I know he held up a crystal that he kept around his neck."Hope I'm sorry I had to do this."He apologized but before I could ask why smoke curled around the crystal and the mist seemed to harden to steel as it clung to the crystal and extended outward until it met a had all happened one second before I got a hard hit to the back of my head and I felt my mind and body just shut down as I fell into nothing but utter and complete darkness.
